So, Bateman is keen on a return 👍
Swap with Gildart in lieu of the transfer.....simples
“Sheens is adamant Luke Brooks won’t be released from the final 12 months of his deal and could lead to a Moses/Brooks and Sheens reunion at the Tigers in 2024.“
Interesting…
If Moses returned he’d immediately be our organising 7. Hastings then no longer a real asset. Brooks playing 6 with Moses controlling could be very dynamic. We could have left and right halves, we could have Moses controlling both sides of the ruck and we could have brooks sweeping left and right. Good kicking options as well.
Righto - rip me apart😂
@tigersteve you can kind of see Hastings wanting to play 7 and Sheens offering 13 and Hastings moving on to Newcastle or dogs on 2024
Seems pretty clear Sheens does not see Hastings as a 7 otherwise Brooks would be released

I like Hastings but I don’t think he is in Sheens plans - not as a half anyway

You could draw that conclusion, yes.

By some miracle if we ended up with a sharp pair of halves, Hastings would make a good 14
Do think whatever happens in 2024 whether that be Newcastle sign Brooks, Hastings either way neither will be released for 2023 by Sheens

If Moses is your organizing half then why would you retain a 5/8th on over a million dollars a year?
@tigersteve Jason Taylor from 2016 is calling and he would like his game plan back.
@celtic_tiger he won't be on 1 million 2024 and beyond 2023 is a back ended deal

So how do you know what Brooks will be earning in 2024?
Do you think he will extend with the Tigers for round about the 500K mark which is probably the top end of what he is worth?
@declan and @celtic I reckon can probably get him for one last contract at 650k or 700k
No half is cheap, Douhie will not be cheap neither will Hastings.
Interesting Josh Jackson has retired from dogs immediately, they could be getting set for 2024 making a play for Hastings who knows

If the Tigers re sign Luke Brooks for 700K then the good ship sanity has well and truly sailed.
Just for a comparison Anthony Milford, another failed half back, signed for the Knights in 2022 for 150K.

You should never mention Declan and Celtic in the same post,it will summon the holy Ghost that believes Luke Brooks is the Antichrist.
